The Coen brothers have their excellent thriller given Fargo with a ease instrumentation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel. Not which there aren’t moments of heated violence, but No Country for Old Men is their quietest, many existential movie yet. In this modern-day Western, Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) is a Vietnam oldster who could make use of a break. One sunrise whilst sport antelope, he spies multiform trucks surrounded by passed bodies (both tellurian and canine). In examining the site, he finds a box filled with $2 million. Moss takes it with him, tells his mother (Kelly Macdonald) he’s going divided for awhile, and hits the highway until he can establish his subsequent move. On the approach from El Paso to Mexico, he discovers he’s being followed by ex-special ops representative Chigurh (an eerily ease Javier Bardem). Chigurh’s arms of preference is a cattle gun, and he uses it on everybody who gets in his way–or loses a silver toss (as far as he’s concerned, bad fitness is drift for death). Just as Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), a World War II vet, is on Moss’s trail, Chigurh’s former colleague, Wells (Woody Harrelson), is on his. For many of the movie, Moss stays one step forward of his nemesis. Both group have been crafty and resourceful–except Moss has a conscience, Chigurh does not (he is, as McCarthy puts it, “a soothsayer of destruction”). At times, the movie plays similar to an old abhorrence movie, with Chigurh as the logging Frankenstein monster. Like the taciturn terminator, No Country for Old Men doesn’t move quickly, but the tragedy never dissipates. This minimalist masterwork represents Joel and Ethan Coen and their complete cast, quite Brolin and Jones, at the rise of their powers. –Kathleen C. Fennessy

I can’t believe garbage movies like this win best picture. There Will Be Blood was awful too.

Well, in response to the ‘haters’ on the discussion page, I would have to agree that taste differs, however a) you’re wrong about me, and b) this movie did and will forever stink and be boring as hell. I have over 1200 movies at home, anything from Gandhi and Driving Miss Daisy to the Matrix, historic war epics, documentaries, and everything in between. This includes all genres, all ages, black and white, computer generated, international, mainstream, nieche films, cult classics – you name it, I got it. Heck, I even took college courses on film, analysis, and film making… None of this changes the fact that this movie blows. The acting was stiff, 95% was shot too dark, the “gun” was downright silly, the ending was non-existent, and why this film won any awards other than a Raspberry is a Hollywood mystery. The films that tend to win awards, often do so because there is a limited amount of industry-specific people who want to set themselves apart from the crowd. Sometimes, they get it right (Pan’s Labyrinth) and sometimes they get it wrong (as in the case here). Not even the violence, as many here called it, was anything to write home about – you didn’t really see anything because it was all shot in the dark! I have seen Western’s with more violence than this dull excuse of a film (Soldier Blue). Critics (and regular people) can heighten any film beyond its actual worthiness and claim to be superior to others, with a better understanding of the intent etc bla bla… Nothing changes the fact that I was bored to tears with this overrated mess of a ‘movie’.
I went to the theater with a buddy to check out the new Coen brothers film. We had great expectations going in, but when we came out, we wanted the two hours of our lives back. This is one of those movies where the “expert critics” hail all the things that prevent this film from becoming mainstream. But for the regular Joe, you, and me, this simply boils down to a massive disappointment. The characters are flat, the story drags on 45 minutes too long, the ending may be the worst in film history… Stay away from this one. The early reviews heralded this one for the “weird cattle gun” and it’s “extreme violence” etc. Not true. The weapon was rather silly and most of the important story events are happening in the dark or behind a door (oooh) so as to put your imagination to work, rather than your eyes. This may work well for critics, but for an audience that expects a wild ride, this is a recipe for boredom.

My opinion, if you want a movie that has an ending, then do not see this one. If you love violence and lots of blood, then go ahead, it will make your day. Curiously, I kept wondering how the bad guy got his hair to curl under so perfectly. My opinion, this movie was a total waste of my time.

No Country for Old Men is by far the worst Coen brothers film. I was very let down by there graffic detalied opening.Only to leave you guessing what happens at the end. I was not familar that David Lynch would direct the last 30min of the movie. It does not deserve the praise that older Coen movies do. For the record I am a fan of the Coen brothers and David Lynch.
